Villas Arqueologicas Chichen Itza

“A nice colonial feel with atmosphere at this hotel.”

We stayed at this hotel as part of a small group touring the Yucatan Peninsula. It is well placed for visiting Chichan Itza just down the road. We had a nice room with all the usual facilities.

“Easy place to stay and get to Chichen Itzá”

Super easy to get to Chichen Itzá from here. We rented a car from Cancun and drove to the ruins from the hotel. The pool was the perfect cool down after a morning in the heat. They have a nice breakfast buffet and an OK dinner package—easy for when you’ve traveled all day.

“Restful hacienda”

One thing to note is that even though this hotel appears to be within walking distance to Chichen Itzá it is not. Because the back entrance to Chichen Itzá which used to service all the hotels in the tourist zone at the back of the park is now closed. So a 3km taxi ride is required to get t... lisää

One thing to note is that even though this hotel appears to be within walking distance to Chichen Itzá it is not. Because the back entrance to Chichen Itzá which used to service all the hotels in the tourist zone at the back of the park is now closed. So a 3km taxi ride is required to get to the front entrance . The hotel’s location is, however, situated in a nice wooded natural area which makes up for this and is preferable to staying in the more urban Piste down the road. The hotel is an old style Mexican hacienda with autentico character. The centrepiece is a spacious pool adjacent to an eating area. We found the hotel restful and a good place to relax after exploring the local archeology. The food was generally good at average prices. Staff were friendly and helpful. We found it helpful though that we knew a little Spanish as not all spoke English . The rooms were not huge but size was adequate. Beds were in alcoves but long enough for a 6’2’’ person to sleep in . Be aware also that most of the hotels near Chichen Itzá have bad plumbing and like this one, they insist that you place your used toilet paper in a waste basket rather avail yourself of the flush. Was not a catastrophe for us but maybe for some.

“Nice pool, great guide, confusing communication”

Rooms are basic but fine for a single nights stay. Pool is very nice, like an oasis surrounded by trees and birds chirpping. It was very relaxing after a hot day. We were given the wrong time for the Kukulkan Nights light show at Chichen Itza and showed up an hour early. Wish we knew the correct ... lisää

Rooms are basic but fine for a single nights stay. Pool is very nice, like an oasis surrounded by trees and birds chirpping. It was very relaxing after a hot day. We were given the wrong time for the Kukulkan Nights light show at Chichen Itza and showed up an hour early. Wish we knew the correct time ahead of time (7pm entry, 8pm show and not 6pm entry 7pm show) because we would have done dinner before going. We ended up not having time and having to eat after, barely made it before the kitchen closed (at 8:45pm, not 10pm like the front desk said or 9:30 like a waiter had told us before we left). Despite these errors in comms, the front desk DID book us the most amazing guide.
